Problem with FormattedString and tracking

[HugoJourdan]

There is a bug with FormattedString when I try to add tracking. This bug happens only when I use the drawBot module in Glyph. With the DrawBot app everything works well.

I'm using with open() and .read to access different text files. This is a part of my code :

import drawBot as d
import os 

dir_path = "/Users/hugojourdan/Desktop/Typo/Specimen Drawbot Script"

with open("/Users/hugojourdan/Desktop/Typo/Specimen Drawbot Script", "r", encoding='utf8') as Text_sample1:
    Text_sample1 = Text_sample1.read()


l, h, ml, mh = 842, 595, 20, 26

d.newPage(l,h)		
t = d.FormattedString()

t.append(Text_sample1, font="Helvetica", fontSize=15, tracking=-5)
Box2 = d.textBox(t, (ml, mh-10, 500,  h-2*mh), align="left")

With this code, if I change the tracking value, it doesn't change tracking but the width of my textBox. If I replace the variable that contains my text (here Text_sample1), directly by text (like "hello") its work. If I create a variable with my text inside ( mytext = "hello"), it's works too.

I feel that something is going wrong by using .read inside textBox

@schriftgestalt Any suggestion?

The drawbot code probably needs to be updated. But I don't have time for it right now.
